Chapter 303: The Brave Man Who Was Afraid of the Darkness and the Sound of Thunder

“I’m being followed?”

First time.

Such thoughts popped into Xu System’s head.

But he quickly vetoed it.

He and Guts were not acquainted, having only met briefly the day the undead invaded the village.

Talk about recognition, much less contradiction.

And.

Along the way, the Xu system’s direction curved around, going wherever it saw fit that there were more undead, sometimes even going back a distance, with no fixed course.

There’s really no point in trying to keep track of such a Xu system.

Well, the answer is clear.

……

[As usual, you clean up the undead you meet on your journey, harvesting a crop of soul fire for your own use.]

[You’re about to leave when you accidentally discover the arrival of Guts, who seems to be traveling with you]

No, more accurately.

“You’ve come to where G.One is.

[The rain pours down, the curtain is heavy, and you see G.One in steel armor, ignoring the crackling rain as he walks toward an old ruin.]

It’s raining hard.

It poured down like a waterfall.

Each drop of falling rain splashed the ground in muddy puddles, creating dense brown splashes.

Immediately afterward, those rains falling from the sky create bigger and muddier puddles.

“Pah-“

There were iron boots striding in.

While stepping on the bursting puddle, his feet plunged into the mud, but soon, with brute strength, he pulled himself out of the sludge hard and began to advance endlessly.

There was clearly muddy water pouring in along the seams.

That walking figure.

And yet it is not affected in any way.

It was as if he was unconscious and didn’t care about any obstacles.

The Xu system watched from afar, watching the metal-covered figure walk into the crumbling ruins of collapsed beams and tangled vines.

It had once been a spectacular mansion, but had long since fallen into uninhabited disrepair under the ravages of time.

“G.One seems to be using it as a residence.

Take a seat at the entrance to the sheltered ruins against the howling wind and rain.

“It’s like that,” the Xu system exclaimed.

From his viewpoint, the sky grew more and more overcast, with stormy winds sweeping through the fiery rain, creating an oversized rainstorm that enveloped the vast area.

Heaven and earth are tyrannical.

The only thing left is the rain roar.

The “Brave One”, whose body is covered with rust marks, sits at the entrance of the ruins, calmly watching the rain, with the style of a master who is better than sound.

Despite knowing that G.One is not very strong.

But in his heart, the Xu system still rose in its estimation.

“Boom–!!!”

Steep.

Thunder ripped through the sky.

The booming sound vibrated extremely far away, as if it was slamming in the ears, shaking the wind and rain.

System Xu felt nothing, he had seen more spectacular scenes and heard more horrifying sounds, so he was expressionless.

But G.One–

Seem to shiver?

Department Xu lost his smile, thinking that he had misread the situation.

The essence of a brave man was an inhuman existence, and a warrior who raised his sword to slash the undead, how could he be afraid of the sound of thunder in the area.

“Boom–!!!”

There was another clap of thunder, this time more booming and loud.

The Xu system saw it for what it was.

The “brave man” who took shelter from the rain in the ruins did shiver a little.

And, as the rain became heavier and the sky darker, G.One moved slowly backward, shivering visibly.

Department of Xu: “Huh?”

“Wait, what happened?”

The “brave man” who protects many villages and fights countless undead skeletons in armor and with a sword.

You’re afraid of the dark and the sound of thunder?

Even knowing that the Armor Man isn’t really a Braveheart.

The Xu system still lapsed into silence.

“Always felt that it was a bit too raw and grassy ……”, Xu sighed, his emotions more mixed than the first time he had taught a magical girl.

……

“You’ve seen the other side of G.One.

[It’s a little-known image, enough to make the villagers’ jaws drop]

[Shivering at the sound of thunder, cowering in the face of darkness, no courage to speak of, no fear to show, alone, Guts is extremely vulnerable]

[Until the rain clears, G.One will not come out of the ruins again.]

[Heads up]

[Looking at the sky]

[Facing the outside world, which was still gloomy, but no longer thundering, Guts seemed relieved and walked into the distance with his long sword in hand]

[Walking far, far, far away]

[You silently observe Guts’s movements and realize that Guts really isn’t following you, and over the next few moments, Guts clears out a few more waves of undead to help eliminate the threat to the villagers]

[Some people are so grateful that they offer all kinds of things to thank G.One.]

[Some people are disgusted and think that Guts is attracting the undead and don’t want Guts to come near the village.]

[In the face of the villagers’ reaction, Guts did not stop for anything, his pace was heavy and firm until he climbed the nearest hill]

The sky, hazy and dim.

A breeze with an earthy odor blew up the broken leaves of the grass.

The blades whirled around, brushing against the edges of the dented and rusted armor, and flew off into the infinite and distant sky.

Guts didn’t care.

Just holding freshly plucked, light-colored flowers.

Walking forward one step at a time and not stopping until the top of the hill.

The top of the hill was quite empty, but the two tombstones stood out, the inscriptions on them no longer legible due to their age.

Pingback.

Split into two bundles.

In a silent silence, G.I. divided the flowers into two parts and placed them in front of the two tombstones.

“Father, Mother.”

“I’ve come to see you again.”

Guts said this and took off his own steel helmet.

Xu System saw it; it was a tattered face, half of it retaining human flesh and blood, half of it transformed into a skeletal form.

Where the teeth are located, there is no blood color present.

The upper and lower closure when speaking.

It looked eerie and scary.

“This is …… undeadization?” The Xu system was surprised, the face of the brave was distinct, the human part was soft and beautiful, the undead part was bleak and colorless, it was impossible to be right.

Life and death are opposites.

The souls of the living carry all the emotions, and all the memories.

The departed undead will have their past washed away, and even if they retain their original memories, they will be nothing more than brand new individuals with memories.

This is contradictory and conflicting.

The strong may be ignored, but the weak “brave” are clearly not in that category.

How on earth did it happen ……

While Xu was pondering, “Braveheart” made a new move, she slowly crouched down, letting her body covered with heavy armor, sitting on her knees in the middle of the two tombstones, with her left and right shoulders next to each side of the tombstone.

This contact seemed to reassure G.One.

A half-beautiful, half-terrifying smile crossed the young girl’s face.
